Eshwari was never meant to survive- born in a kotha, raised on her mother's blood and silence. When the world tried to cage her, she learned one rule: Power is never given. It is taken. Using her beauty as bait and her mind as a weapon, Eshwari climbs the ladder of corruption-freeing women like her, one powerful man at a time. Until she meets Vritra Dev Rana- a man who rules continents, trades in weapons, and doesn't believe in mercy. She offers him a deal. Power in exchange for power. He counters with a crown. A marriage that shocks the world. An obsession that burns everything in its path. Because when a monster meets a woman who refuses to bow- only one thing is inevitable. 🔥 War.

"𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙢, 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩." ✯ -------------------- ✿ ✯ ✿ -------------------- ✯ "I hate you more than anything else!" he said coldly, his eyes burning with disdain. But instead of anger, her lips curved into a mischievous smile. "At least you feel something for me. And something is always better than nothing, my Love." Her voice was soft, almost dreamy, as though hatred itself was a form of intimacy for her. With that, she turned her back to him, still smiling faintly, and drifted into sleep. He stared at her in disbelief, his chest rising and falling with unspoken emotions. ✯ -------------------- ✿ ✯ ✿ -------------------- ✯ He was everything, she wasn't. Full of life, innocent, kind-hearted, and charming enough to win anyone's heart. A true prince charming, with dreams too pure for the world, he was about to enter. And she? Cold. Arrogant. Ruthless. The kind of girl, who'd burn down the world for what she wanted. But fate had other plans. When Adhrit Mishra, a simple boy from a middle-class family, crosses paths with Anaisha Mehrotra, an arrogant heiress of unimaginable power, he never imagined, that one encounter would change his destiny forever. What started as arrogance, soon turns into obsession - the kind, that blurs the line between love and possession, desire and destruction. Now trapped in Anaisha's twisted world of passion, power, and control, Adhrit must face a terrifying truth - love isn't always tender, and some cages are built with affection, instead of iron. Will he survive her madness? Or will he end up loving the very reason for his misery? ✯ -------------------- ✿ ✯ ✿ -------------------- ✯ Thankyou for giving this story a chance!
